Wow. This six issue story arc is one of Marvel's Greatest Comics. It ends as strongly as it began, with a gut punch on the very last page. The revelation of Iron Fist as the second Daredevil (patrolling Hell's Kitchen and fighting in the Civil War) doesn't compare to the last big secret that Brubaker has been keeping. There's another huge mystery spilling into the next arc that will send DD travelling to Europe. I love all the elements here, Brubaker keeps surprising me, even with the scene where Matt finally busts out of Ryker's with the Punisher's help. "I never thought I'd say these words...but thanks, Frank." Even the afterword on the letters page is wonderful--I never knew that Brubaker was such an Iron Fist fan! Don't click on the link below, where Brubaker discusses this issue's events, until you've finally read Daredevil 87.
Let's get the party started, because Mike Murdock is back after 30 years, baby! Nuff said.
